Atlas of the Mammalian Ovary Morphological Dynamics and Potential Role of Innate Immunity /

In the era of molecular biology, an atlas that allows a rapid understanding of the complexity of ovarian processes is urgently needed. In this book, the author draws upon her own research, conducted over the past three decades, to provide a unique compilation of high-quality illustrations that offer...
